MagnaKool Hoses & Optima Red Top:

i like it, very low key. i would definetly get some wire loom to cover those yellow and red wires in the engine bay. its looks almost 100% factory, the nicest part is the idle air control valve. its very clean looking.

 

Do'oh! I was hoping no one would notice the extra wires. Those are for the city lights in the Cefiros and some cheapy fogs I put on. I need to trim down the extra wire so it looks a little better. There is still so much to do. I guess I will hit that up next pay day when I do the MagnaKool Lower Radiator Hose.

looks good w/ that 3.5 in there.

Did you ever re-dyno your car? Also that dyno you posted from maxus, was that w/ the 3.5L headers or the 3.0L?

 

I never redyno'd. There really hasnt been much mods performance wise since Maxus. Only things are the Motostrom UPD and a Blehmco Grounding Kit. Neither of which I expect to see huge gains from. I really cant remember if we reused the 3.0 heads or not. Im pretty sure we did. Eventually there will be some Cattman Headers in there.

 

me likes it!! i was wondering if u never fixed ur hail damaged?

 

Nope. Its kind of low on the priority list. At least until it really starts bugging me. I plan to fix the trunk with a 97+ Upgrade. I just need to find a white one some where around Austin.

 

we should meet up some time.

 

^ Sounds good to me man. Im going to try and hit up the local car show next Saturday Night. 1431 & Parmer area. I think Im going to be there around 7-7:30 and stay for about a hour.

 

Very nice.... very nice indeed
95-96 represent

Did you simply remove the emblem from OEM grill or you added a black mesh?

 

I removed the emblem and then installed a GrilleTech Grille. Its a 3 peice set. I think they look pretty nice. I will post up some better pics of the grille.

 

big pic. nice car

 

 

Yeah I know. For some reason that one pic turned out giagantic! Thanks for the props.

 

very clean install dude.

 

Thanks. Stephen Max did the engine work, I did the hoses and battery.

 

where did you get your hose kit at?

 

The sell them at Pep Boys. You can find the radiator hoses only at Autozone.

 

Very nice, gotta love the CF.

 

jeeze, get a paint job already! lol

 

That looks real good, very clean

 

Lookin good my friend. My car is right behind ya, of course it may be a while for the engine swap and CF hood.

 

nice midpipe man. looks like its going to blow up lol

 

Umm yeah, thats for the Pathfinder TB. I havent come up with any better ideas yet.

 

Its not that pretty anymore. Rock chips ftl! That pic was taken pretty recent after some douche ran into the front of my car and I had it fixed.

 

very nice!

 

love your car man, hows the clear coat on that hood holdin up? my cf hood is on the way, im anxious.
i wish my engine bay was that clean.

 

Optima battery, nice. Nothing but the best I see.

 

The clear coat is holding up like a champ! What hood did you get? I need to give it a good buff job though with some swirl mark remover. My engine bay isnt that clean. I need to take it to the car wash for a good once over. Im just waiting till closer to Maxus.

 

Your Max is soooo nice...can't wait until I can see it at Maxus!

 

Thanks! Are you bringing your Maxima or flying down?

 

Driving...taking the Maxima all the way down makes the experience even better! Then I can brag about having the only ES, lol.

 

Very nice, always loved your car. I sort of see a bit of mine in yours, probably the 95-96 love I especially like the grill, where could I pick one up at?

JSutter and gtr_rider, you guys are making me want to do that light mod to the bumper lights, I love how it looks, as I like the look of driving around at dusk with only the corner lights/side markers on

 

The engine bay is awesome

 

I bought mine off ebay. GrilleTech.com has them too.

 

I envy you....and covet your goods.

 

Thanks! But the goodies are mine :P

 

if you dont mind me asking, how much did the swap cost you?

 

~$2,700 give or take a hundred or two.
